- Cut back lupins and delphiniums that have finished flowering to encourage a second flush later in the season
- Continue to deadhead the flower border on a regular basis as this will also encourage more flowers later on.
- Don’t forget to feed all the flower borders and containers every two weeks. Containers may need watering as much as twice a day in very hot weather.
- Keep up with the weeding otherwise the weeds will take moisture and nutrients meant for your flowers..
- Take time out to sit in your garden and enjoy!
Lawn
- Keep mowing regularly unless there is a drought. Leave the clippings on the lawn to act as a mulch in hot weather. Do not feed the grass.
- Set the mower blade slightly higher than before so that if it becomes very hot the grass will not dry out as much.
- Only water any recently sown grass or new turf. If an existing lawn does go brown it will recover after the first rains.
